We are recruiting a PBS Practitioner for a specialist children's residential care provider across the West Midlands. In this role, you will perform functional behaviour assessments, design individualised PBS plans, and coach care staff directly in residential settings. The position bridges hands-on clinical assessment and workforce development, driving measurable improvements in quality of life and placement stability for young people with complex needs.
Lead Positive Behaviour Support across young people's residential services, embedding evidence-based strategies that reduce restrictive practices while receiving structured supervision toward UKBA certification.
To support young people with complex autism, learning disabilities, and severe behaviours of concern, this provider is expanding its regional clinical provision. The PBS Practitioner role exists to embed proactive, values-based support directly within residential homes. By equipping frontline staff with practical behavioural skills, the organisation reduces reliance on restrictive interventions, minimises placement breakdowns, and meets increasingly complex regulatory and commissioning standards across the Midlands.
In months 1 to 3, you will complete initial functional assessments and establish baseline PBS plans for high-priority residential placements across the West Midlands. By month 6, you will roll out structured PBS coaching and debriefing frameworks for frontline care teams, ensuring consistent plan execution. By month 12, you will demonstrate a measurable reduction in restrictive interventions and behaviours of concern across your caseload, presenting outcomes to internal leadership and local commissioning partners.
Join an established, expanding provider of specialist residential services for young people with complex needs. The organisation is committed to values-led, least-restrictive care, offering clinicians structured supervision, dedicated professional development, and supported pathways toward full UKBA certification.
